Why a woman with such huge career earnings still felt the need to act out the role of golddigger is beyond me. I guess evolutionary psychology dies hard.

I can't tell if your comment is racist or sexist. Please illuminate. I do know I'd love to see what you site as an example of Steffi Graf goldigging. I hope it's not just because she married a rich guy.

The funniest and wittiest response ever of a professional tennis player to a remark from the stands.
Steffi Graf!

Steffi Graf (to spectator): "How much money do you make?"

Analysis: Steffi Graf's reprehensible inquisitiveness of monetary accquisitiveness does not remotely suggest to the 'humorously honed' ear, a sense that her 'funny bone' is in tune with the "socially evolved." Her quip couldn't even be tagged as worthy of, a Joan Rivers, for example. Whatever fraternal traits Ms. Graf shares with the heavily plasticized and botoxed Ms. Rivers, they clearly are not based on an inherent ability to combine clever conception with facetious expression as is often the case with Ms. Rivers. No, Ms. Graf's gauche, impotent attempt at pithy repartee, more to the points, suggests that the only "fraternal" traits she shares with Ms. Rivers is the socially tasteless, run-of-the-mill AVARICE commonly found among the nouveau riche.

Conclusion: "So....how much money do you make?" ???
Clearly, not exactly a George Bernard Shaw-type "come-back."

To help further illustrate the "witty" (not) point: here are two other examples that are clearly out of the one-track-mind-$"golddigger" Graf's league:

1. After (McEnroe) walks towards the chair to argue a call in the begining of a match....
Spectator: "Come on Mac! Already now?!"
McEnroe (to spectator): "What's your problem? You got a f*cking appointment you've got to get to?"
Analysis: Crude, but infinitely more inventive than Graf.

2. Another time, McEnroe (to heckling spectator): "What other problems do you have apart from being unemployed, a moron and a dork?"
Analysis: Churlish, but again, infinitely more inventive than Graf.

Kind of like their respective games.
Graf: one dimensional
McEnroe: incendiary at times, yet infinitely more inventive

A couple. Here's two:

I. Most times stabbed by a Steffi Graf fan while trying to play a tennis match......in Germany.

II. Most times stabbed by a Steffi Graf fan while trying to play a tennis match....anywhere.

Please, oh God, don't bring up Monica Seles or the stabbing in this thread. The last thing I want is a hijacked thread. This was just supposed to be a bit of a laugh, don't make it into a huge argument. -_-

to the rest of you : this is just a personal "tweak-fest" between my homie Condi and I; you need not bother reading into this.....

Not important.

BTW, who is Miss Rivers?

Condi

PS: Graf never said "How much money to you make?"
So your conclusions are wrong from the start.

Thanks, I almost overlook that.

IMO, the stabbing didn't alter the course of tennis history as certain patriotic circles among U.S. tennis fans want it to make us believe.
Seles was injured for about 4 weeks and had some motivational problems afterwards. But Graf - coming out of her horrible slump - was rising to her former peak again in summer of 1993 and would have become #1 anyway.
We must not forget that even #1 Seles lost 5 of 7 matches against Graf.
Which is more than 70 %. A fact those U.S. Seles fans always try to avoid ...

It's baiting and counter-baiting. These Seles-Graf arguments are becoming so tiresome.

Grand Slam & Polaris: re-read the very top of my post (you don't have to read the entire post, SINCE YOU WERE ADVISED NOT TO UPFRONT), but just the top of it. There it is: a harmless little advisory noting that the following was a harmless "tweak" just between Condi and I (the word actually used; not "flame" but tweak). And so what did you Grand Slam do? You whined "oh please God....blah, blah." Now what part of "tweak" didn't you get? Further, Steffi Graf's illustrious career has ended; i.e. she retired from the tour YEARS AGO. If I was going to get petty and whine like you, I'd whine that this post really belongs in the "Former Pro Player" section....so obvious even the Geico caveman would know better.

... And still, I don't understand why you've even made either of the posts you have. This was supposed to be a joke. I mean, look at the video. Pretty funny, yeah? Bit of a laugh.

I skim through your post. You bring up the stabbing at the bottom of your first post. All I wanted was for this NOT to happen. Your posts are too freaking complicated and analytic and boring for me to even attempt to interpret what you're saying. I do realise, however, that you've mentioned the stabbing. So I ask you not to bring up any of this Monica Seles stabbing jargon. I'm not whining, I'm requesting that you don't bring this endless argument over to this thread. I care neither about your stupid tweak nor your over-analytic views on an 11-second video. Actually, I think I do. It was these such views that prompted me to ask you to leave the Seles/stabing discussion alone. You've made a big deal out of nothing.

No worries, Dedans. I wasn't singling you out in particular, just expressing my displeasure about the general trend. I can see that there can be a funny angle to this, so I'm not taking it as seriously as my post seems to suggest.

I'm sorry my pet, but did you really expect me to respond to your ("I dislike you with great intensity")) post seriously?

Seriously ol' chap, I dare say: who actually speaks like that: ("I dislike you with great intensity")?

Given the hillariously pompous rhetoric of yours, your subsequent "are you high?" question would in fact be best directed towards yourself. However, I will not belabor the point in posing that question in your direction because, first and foremost, I'm a really 'swell guy' and also because your "are your high?" question was after all, just a tired, worn-out, cliche-ridden, pedestrian "response" that one reads all too often. However, I must confess with all frankness and candor, mon amie: I found your "I dislike you with great intensity" comment quite amusing. Very poetic. Given your penchant for poetic posts, I wonder (on the other hand) how an actual compliment from you might read?

".....I, The Grand Salami unequivocably equate you Dedans Penthouse, with a stream of bat's ****: a shaft of 'GOLD' when all around is dark...."

Hey Rabbit, don't 'cha like it that whenever Condi becomes involved in any tempest-in-a-teacup fray involving "her royal beakness" Steffi, how she can flip out on a dime? Kind of like shootin' fish in a barrell wouldn't you say? Or, kind of like driving twin Escalades (w/ 22's") up Steffi's stuffy nostrils.

For the *cough* 3rd time: my original post was prefaced...(as in UPFRONT) with an "Advisory" advising the at-large audience (which would also include you) NOT TO READ---that my 'tweak' was just between Condi and myself, period. So whatever comprehension challenges may or may not have befallen you, would you please stop your repeated and odious attempts to lay blame on me Grand Slammy and face facts: 'twas YOU, dear child, that felt compelled to "trespass" via your own free will and to that end, I will take responsibility for nothing other than the truth, ipso facto (ah-hem).

Now, in the interest of brevity, allow me to wrap up this trite little malestorm in "ying" and "yang" fashion:
